Those highs are 105-110 in the Great Plains … seems substantially cooler than 125F in Canada.

Look at the temperature records in Canada.

Of the 13 provinces and territories, 9 of the 13 records were set in the 1930's or earlier.

Interestingly enough: the highest temperature recorded in the 1930's is 4.6C lower than the current record.
